Synopsis

When the Earl of Spenborough suddenly dies, his willful and obstinate daughter Serena is devastated. Then Serena is even more horrified to find that her beloved—albeit eccentric—father's will states that her inheritance is to be held by a trustee. And none other than the Marquis of Rotherham, an arrogant and fierce noble who used to be betrothed to Serena.

Now the marquis holds Serena's entire estate, knowing that the only way she can regain her inheritance is if she weds…. And only if the marquis gives his approval. But how can Serena trust a scoundrel to protect her happiness?

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Earl of Spenborough has always been noted for his eccentricity. Leaving a widow younger than his own daughter Serena is one thing, but quite another is leaving Serena's fortune to the trusteeship of the Marquis of Rotherham -- a man whom Serena once jilted and who now has the power to give or withhold his consent to any marriage she might contemplate. When Serena and her lovely young stepmother Fanny decide to move to Bath, Serena makes an odd new friend and discovers an old love, Major Hector Kirkby. Before long, Serena, Fanny, Kirkby, and Rotherham are entangled in a welter of marriage and manners the like of which even Regency Bath has rarely seen.

Bath Tangle is a peerless historical romance by an author who was one of the most prolific, successful and best-loved writers of her age.
